Are we victims of fate or can we create our own destiny? 200 Word Response

I think that things just happen sometimes, and there isn't anything you can do about it. Although, you can set yourself up for your future. It is just based on the decisions you make. Fate is, what happens no matter what. For example, when two people that do not know each other, fall in love, it is fate that brought them together. When someone says, "create you own destiny", it's possible. If you do all your work in school, pay attention, and make good grades you will graduate and then move on to college. After college, you will have opportunities to fullfill your career and make good money. If you play around in school and don't do anything, you are more than likely will not graduate. You will not go to college, you will probably end up being a drop out. Fate is what you can not control, it just happens. Sometimes your fate will change whether you make good or bad decisions. I think that we shouldn't try to plan our futures, it just takes the fun out of living. You should live your life to the fullest and have no regrets. Of course, that does not mean break all the rules. It just means, have fun and make your life worth living.
